my only point was one that after those eight years I think a lot of people were more politically revved up than normal. Now that most of us have crashed back down to the corporate political reality of it all I think most or a lot of us are back to being apathetic.

You just summarized what is, imo, Obama's main challenge in this year's election.

Can he again mobilize the traditionally non-voting segments of the population? Have they been discouraged to the point of apathy? I'm sure he's lost a good percentage of the legalization movement. Many of those folks will be assuming the position(ass on couch, mouth on bong, lighter in hand)on election day.

Will the centrists remain on Obama's side of the ledger?

It will be most interesting, indeed.

Sadly, you are probably right. Let's hope we get energized again before we start undergoing austerity measures like Greece.....
